A pure Hindu Kush landrace from Tirah Valley, a renowned centre of hashish production in Northwest Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan. Tirah landraces are typically Indica-type plants, i.e. short and heavily branched with relatively broad leaflets. In practice, Sativa-type variants can be exhibited, as in the “Khyber Sativa” strain of old seedbank catalogues.

Tirah Valley is in a region once known as the Tribal Agencies, a mountainous and ethnically Pashtun (Afghan) area beyond the direct control of the Pakistan government. The valley cuts through Orakzai, Kurram, and Khyber agencies. It’s a major centre of Cannabis cultivation and best known for Tirah garda, a refined form of hashish with a potent, narcotic effect. Tirah garda is usually blonde or golden, though it darkens and ‘melts’ with age.

Seeds of this Tirah landrace are producing vigorous, healthy seedlings. However, seed viability has tested at only c. 60%.

Usually, our policy is to not list any seeds that exhibit below 80% viability. However, because of the significance of landraces from the Hindu Kush region, we’ve decided to make these seeds available at half of what would otherwise be their price.

The Real Seed Company does not ship cannabis seeds to the USA. The Real Seed Company also refuses to sell cannabis seed to anybody who it believes may intend to use them illegally for the purposes of germination or cultivation.
